National and World Assessments, Produced Waters and more Discover our Science Research Gulf Coast Framework Studies, Geochemistry, Geologic CO2 Utilization, Economics, Environmental Aspects, and more Discover our Science The Energy Resources Program conducts research and assessments to advance the understanding of the Nation’s energy resources. We study processes critical to the formation, accumulation, occurrence and alteration of geologically based energy resources; prepare resource assessments; and evaluate the environmental and socioeconomic effects of energy resource occurrence, production and use.Our ScienceUnderstanding the national and global availability of resources as well as the environmental impacts of their development is essential for strategic decision making related to the nation s energy mix.Learn More News & HighlightsCurrent Press Releases, Technical Announcements, Publications, Field Reports, and Science Highlights.Read MoreSCIENCE PRIORITIESEnergy ResourcesAssessmentsResearchRegional Studies A multiagency partnership led by the USGS and the Department of Energy seeks to shed light on lithium and other critical mineral resource potential as well as geothermal energy potential in western Nevada As summer begins, here are a few highlights in our Energy Quarterly Newsletter.  This edition is a quick overview of the Energy Resources Program's assessments, research, data, and publications.  We also share highlights from our fellow program in the USGS Energy and Minerals Mission Area, the Mineral Resources Program.   USGS Energy Resources Program list of recent Oil and Gas publications and data releases for the Summer 2020 Edition of the Energy Quarterly Newsletter. Year Published: 2020 Estimating the net costs of brine production and disposal to expand pressure-limited dynamic capacity for basin-scale CO2 storage in a saline formation If carbon capture and storage (CCS) needs to be deployed at basin- or larger-scale, it is likely that multiple sites will be injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) into the same geologic formation. This could lead to excessive pressure buildup, overlapping induced pressure fronts, and pressure interference with neighboring uses of the subsurface.... Anderson, Steven T.; Jahediesfanjani, Hossein Attribution: Eastern Energy Resources Science Center, Energy Resources Program Year Published: 2020 Assessment of undiscovered conventional oil and gas resources of Southeast Asia, 2020 Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated undiscovered, technically recoverable mean resources of 10.5 billion barrels of oil and 271.5 trillion cubic feet of gas within 33 geologic provinces of Southeast Asia.

Year Published: 2020 Examination of inertinite within immature Eagle Ford Shale at the nanometer-scale using atomic force microscopy-based infrared spectroscopy The nanoscale molecular composition of sedimentary organic matter is challenging to characterize in situ given the limited tools available that can adequately interrogate its complex chemical structure. This is a particularly relevant issue in source rocks, as kerogen composition will strongly impact its reactivity and so is critical to...
